Emrys isn't too excited about her new assignment to guard
the crown prince, Richard, but as a Faery sworn to Queen
Mab, she knows it is her duty. As she watches over him,
something ignites between them that Emrys was not prepared
for. When a threat from her world wants to obliterate the
entire royal line, Emrys has to decide how far she will go
to protect the person she has grown to love.
ALL THAT GLOWS by Ryan Graudin is an action-filled story
with a touching romance. The world Graudin creates full of
hidden Faeries, dangerous Banshees, and magical royal blood
is exciting and consuming. I love the touches of Arthurian
legend throughout that give it a little something extra. The
setting of London fits the story wonderfully and makes an
excellent backdrop to all the magical adventures.
The love story between Emrys and Richard is adorable and
heart-warming with just the right amount of tragic. Emrys is
strong and brave, and she never makes herself a slave to her
emotions. She definitely gives into them sometimes, but it
never feels too reckless, just full of the intriguing power
love can sometimes sway people with. When it comes to
facing the choice between her powers and immortality, she
doesn't jump to one side automatically. When it comes to
Richard, he loves very powerfully with so much care. His
character development is amazing to see as he matures and
learns to handle responsibility. Together, they have plenty
of sweet moments to make you believe in them as a couple and
want what's best for them.
Overall, I really love ALL THAT GLOWS. Ryan Graudin tells a
great story, and I can't wait to see what she writes next.
For people who enjoy Julie Kagawa and Aprilynne Pike, I
would highly recommend this original and beautiful spin on
the Fae.
For fans of Maggie Stiefvater and Lesley Livingston comes a clever twist on the mortal/immortal love story by hot debut author Ryan Graudin. Intense and electric, this is the ultimate tale of forbidden love. Emrys, a spirited and charismatic Faery Guard of the British monarchy, is sent to London to guard Richard, the bad-boy prince of England, from assassins and paparazzi. Despite her status as a guard of the royals, Emrys struggles with her feelings as she tries to not fall in love with the charming prince. But when an ancient Fae murders the king, Richard’s father, and starts attacking the other royals, Emrys must risk everything to hunt through London’s magical dark side in order to protect her charge—and the boy she loves.
